Acquiring a licence from SCoP includes sending items online through a form in your Member Account. The online form requires several items to be attached to it and it can only be sent once. Applications are not processed until payment and all requirements have been received by SCoP.

Member Account

All members need a Member Account, used for sending information and documents to the College.

(NOTE for Hotmail & Outlook users: please add "collegeofparamedics.sk.ca" to your Safe Senders list so that all emails from the College are received. Most communication regarding your application will be by email, and those emails almost always go straight to the Hotmail junk folder unless this step is taken. Instructions for adding to Safe Senders)

After creating your Member Account, you'll be asked to answer a couple of mandatory demographics questions, and include a copy of your government-issued identification, i.e. driver's licence. Once you click Save and Continue, you'll be taken to your Member Account.

For your member identification card, please upload a head and shoulders photo to your Member Account. Selfies against a plain background are acceptable as long as you look professional. Shirt with a collar or a plain t shirt without logos are recommended. In uniform preferred.

Phase 1

1. Download the pre-application checklist and use it to track your progress. It is for personal use only and does not need to be submitted. Pre-Application Checklist >

3. Once that is done, complete the Eligibility Assessment Application Form within your Member Account. Full instructions are within the form in your Member Account and can be accessed any time. The fee for the eligibility assessment is $950.
In order to determine your eligibility for licensing, we need very specific information. At each step in the form, you will be asked to answer questions and/or upload documents. It is important that you provide all of the information requested, as we are only able to process fully completed applications. Although it is best to complete the Eligibility Assessment Application Form in order, you can move between questions and upload documents as they become available. You can save your work at any time and come back to it later.

4. You will be emailed with further instructions once the assessment outcome is complete.

Phase 2

1. If you are assessed as eligible to proceed with phase 2, you will receive information on how to apply for an Applicant Interview.

2. Upon successful completion of that step, you will be asked, via email, to book a Clinical Skills Assessment with an approved organization.

3. If any gap training is required, SCoP staff will provide you with details.

4. Once gap training is complete (if required), you will be eligible to apply to write the exam related to your practice level.

Phase 3

Upon successful completion of the exam for your practice level, you will have access to apply online for Initial Registration.
